I believe that every difficulty in our lives is given to us so that we may live through it and change because of that experience. Every trial makes us stronger. I will either overcome the illness or adapt to it. In any case, it will not break me.

That would mean a lifetime of medication. Still, it’s good that it’s not a tumor, so I’m grateful for that at least. But if it turns out to be an infection affecting the entire nervous system—and high-quality antibiotics can cure it—I’ll genuinely start believing in magic 🌟

The MRI results weren't good; the doctor's report suggests it looks like multiple sclerosis. I still need to rule out mimics—like an infection, for instance. If those tests come back negative, I’ll head to Lviv to have a sample taken from my spinal cord and confirm the MS diagnosis.

I wish you the strength to fight this disease mentally. So much depends on our mindset. Hang in there. And I will hope that I don't have multiple sclerosis.

Fortunately, I can take it in pill form; I rarely experience stomach issues, and even when I do, it’s manageable.

I had my ferritin levels checked for the third time, and the result was 31. So, it is rising after all. I’m starting to doubt that iron is the root cause, though, because I’m not feeling any better—and I’ve been taking supplements throughout the spring and summer.

Riola (Commissions open) @riolavar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

The doctor mentioned it to me, too. But I read up on the symptoms, and I don't think that's what it is—though I can't say for sure.

Riola (Commissions open) @riolavar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

In a couple of days, I’m going to get an MRI of my head, neck, and spine. Wish me luck—I don’t want it to be a serious illness, but I do want answers. I’m truly exhausted 😔

I saw a neurologist, and they ordered an MRI. I also consulted an ophthalmologist, who said my eyes are fine—it’s a neurological issue. I’ve also been tested for myasthenia gravis and am waiting for the results.

For instance, when I’m in a store, I have to blink a few times just to focus on a single price tag. And when I walk down stairs, it feels like I’m on a ship—the steps below seem to spread apart, and I lack a steady step.

Two months ago, another symptom appeared: double vision. I’ve been crying. Sometimes when I draw, the image looks very distorted. When I look down and to the left, the image always doubles. When I look straight ahead, it might double at first but then stabilize. Still, it’s hard to focus my gaze.

Just standing in the kitchen would leave me completely exhausted; I’d have to lie down and sleep. Climbing the stairs was the hardest part; it took a huge amount of energy. I felt as though my energy was draining away, and I would become exhausted very quickly.

My ferritin was 28 and hemoglobin was 112. I started taking iron supplements. I also had chest tightness; I took magnesium, and it helped. I had new blood tests done. My hemoglobin went up, but my ferritin dropped to 18. I kept taking iron supplements, but my legs didn't get any stronger.

Back in the winter, I noticed my legs buckling, as if someone were kicking them from behind. Walking for more than 30 minutes was difficult; I would drag my feet, barely lifting them. I also had lower back pain. I had blood tests done for ferritin and hemoglobin, thinking I had anemia.

Riola (Commissions open) @riolavar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I’ve been ill since February. It started with my legs becoming very weak. Now I’m also experiencing double vision. I’ll write out the detailed history below 😢 I’m going for an MRI tomorrow If you’d like to support me, here is my Ko-fi link. The medical tests are very expensive😔 ko-fi.com/riola

#ArtShare + I don't really know how to do these. Advice? What would you like to see happen in an art share? - No bot-made art and no nu-des. + Your contribution is appreciated. I will like and comment on everything eventually.

Yes, I draw both delicate art and horror. That worries me, because it’s better for an artist to stick to one direction

I’ve always felt that my style is closer to oil painting, but I also really love watercolor in traditional art.

Wow, that’s cool. I’m really happy to hear that. I remember the books from my childhood. You don't see ones like that anymore.

I'm Elhyana, french fantasy illustrator, available for work I also work on my little book project "Tales of the Knights" on my free time Portfolio: elhyana.carrd.co E-mail: elhyanart@gmail.com

In the city of Noshtraad, Alyshia, a knight in shiny armor, is walking away from the bakery, her helmet full of pastries, and a big smile on her face

In the middle of the forest at dusk, Alyshia and Elhyana are fighting furiously. Alyshia, shield up, is blocking a very strong attack, boosted by magic from Elhyana

In a crowded market in a little town, Arthur is looking at a merchant's product, oblivious to what Elhyana is doing walking past him and stealing one of his map in a very slick way

Standing in the middle of the street, Elhyana is holding a wanted poster she just ripped from the town board, she looks pissed at the rendition of her face

The most annoying thing about starting on a new platform is finding all the people you followed elsewhere. So lets get an #artshare going. Please post 4 artworks in the replies here so others can find you!
